Optimistic thinkers tend to anticipate the best possible
outcome in any situation. (For instance: "I may have
totaled my car, but thank goodness for insurance!") And research suggests
seeing the glass half-full is good for our health, career, and love life.
Studies have found self-reported optimism predicts lower rates of mortality and
cancer, and better cardiovascular health and immune function.Other research has
found the benefits of positive thinking are especially pronounced in low-income
countries. One study even suggests optimism helps women battle breast
cancer. And elderly people who hold positive stereotypes about old age
generally recover better from disability than those who think negatively.
Some psychologists think optimists tend to be
healthier because they cope better when they can't meet their goals. It's
also possible that people who think positively attribute less significance to
stressful events.
But the benefits of optimism go beyond a clean bill
of health. Forget the raving resume there may be a connection between positive
thinking and landing a
stellar job. Optimists also have a better chance of securing a
stable, loving relationship. Still, thinking positively may be easier said
than done.
